Soller, Mallorca

Mallorca

Folder: Europe
The largest of the Islas Balearicas in the Mediterranean Sea. It is part of Spain and a very popular tourist destination.

It is however an excellent place for wildlife and has superb mountains, cliffs and beaches with walks where you meet no-one all day!

It is probably the best place in Europe to see Black Vultures and one of the best to see Eleanora's Falcons

Steps leading up to the church on top of the hill in Pollenca. Have a beer in the square first before the hot climb, then enjoy the views from the top.
